My New Doctor

Chapter 36

Rachel's POV

So I woke up to crashing and banging downstairs, I checked the clock to find it was 10:46 and Harry should be at work and so I got pretty worried as to who it was, I got out of bed and grabbed my crutches and headed downstairs, I got to the bottom on my bum as always only to find no one in the living room, so I quietly made my way to the kitchen to find Sophie the nurse from Harry's office putting some shopping away, "sorry sweetheart I didn't mean to make you I just accidentally dropped a bag of potatoes on the stairs on the way in and it sounded like a non had gone off" she said as she saw me approach, "no problem, no offence but why are you here and where's Harry?"
"Harry told me he needed to go shopping on his lunch break but had an emergency appointment so I offered to do it on my break" she replied
"Ah that's kind, thank you" I said smiling to her before groaning at the sudden burst of pain through my stomach
"You okay love?" Sophie asked coming closer
"Yeah just a shooting pain" I said trying to straighten back up but couldn't as the pain was horrific
"You sure? Do you want me to phone Harry for you?"
"No no don't!" I blurted out "he'll only worry"
"Okay sweetheart but I can't leave you like this so how about you get dressed and come to the office with me?" She said as I finally got to grips with the pain enabling to move again
"No I'm fine here thanks"
"It's either that or I'll have to call Harry, sorry hunny but it's for your own good!" She said sympathetically
"Okay give me two minutes" I said hobbling back upstairs to get dressed.

When I returned Sophie was waiting to leave so I followed her out and to her car, we drove to the office and she told me to sit in the waiting room while she went to get Harry. This wasn't going to end well, I just know that Harry isn't going to just leave it and he'll want answers that only he could find by being a doctor and poking around which I really don't want to happen. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Harry approached me "hey chick, what's going on?" He said worry laced in his words
"Nothing haz, just stomach cramps!" I stated
"Come on I've got an hour now cause one of my appointments got cancelled, come to my room with me" he said, and so it begins I thought as I followed him through
"Sit on the bed for me"
"No"
"Why not?" He asked disheartened
"Your not having a poke around in fine and I don't need you getting all doctor on me" I said in a puff annoyed that I was even here
"What's gotten into you today? You know I'm only looking out for you and I need to know your okay so I have to have a little poke as you say to make sure there's nothing wrong" he said while pulling me in for a cwtch
"Sorry haz, I'm just sick and tired of all this doctor stuff, I don't need any of it"
"Hop on the bed for me babe, please?" He said and I could see his eyes secretly begging for my approval so I did, I sat on the bed and Harry went and got his stethoscope and thermometer. He came over and put the thermometer in my ear and found I have a high temperature and then he asked me to lie down. When I didn't he said "come on rach you know it's going to be okay, just lay back and relax and I can be done pretty quick, you can do it" he as he pushed me gently to lay back.
"Okay I'm just going to lift your top and have a quick feel, let me know if it's painful yeah?" I just nodded and he started pushing everywhere and it wasn't to bad until he got to the bottom and I winced as it was quite sore, Harry apologised and told me it shouldn't be anything serious but he would need to keep and eye on me.

Harry's POV

I was so grateful that Sophie offered to help me with the shopping as I was busy but I had quite a shock when she brought Rachel here. "She just sort of winced at the pain all of a sudden and bent over clutching her tummy" Sophie explained
"Okay thanks soph I'll go see her now, how do you fancy coming over tonight? A nice takeaway and movie sound good?" I asked hoping she'd agree
"Yeah sure, I'd love too, I'll come by at 7?"
"Sounds great see you then" I replied happily as we exited my room and went our separate ways.
